Whether the weather

We had another big snowfall over the weekend, and the grass is all white outside the window. Again. I never thought I would say this, but I am very tired of snow.

It’s costing a fortune too. Luckily the neighbour is bearing the brunt of the oil usage, and I reckon I have used well in excess of thousand litres since the start of the year. I know this because he was complaining to me the other day how he keeps having to fill his tank. I told him he should get a more efficient system in and pointed out that he wouldn’t have seen the oil delivery truck outside my place in ages.

One thing I am getting through at a rate of knots is seed for the birds. I love my birds [just ask Herself or Sharon] and believe in looking after them. The little buggers are cleaning out the feeders at the rate of one a day. I had a little accident the other day, and included some of my special seeds. We are hearing some rather strange and startling birdsong ever since.

I have been around for a while, and I remember some pretty stiff winters. This one beats them all however. It has been fucking freezing here since the middle of December. Of course the Climate Alarmists are going to have some problems with it. It is going to make a nasty little dent in their supposedly upward trending graphs, and I have a suspicion that they are going to accidentally lose the figures for this winter. Either that or they will have placed 100W light bulbs next to their thermometers, to ensure that their readings conform to their computer models. Apparently that is known as a ‘trick’ in the trade.

This time last year, it was quite pleasant. It continued to get warmer and we had quite a heatwave in May, I think it was? There was a feeling in the air that the entire summer was going to be a scorcher, but of course it turned out to be a fucking miserable summer after all, like every other fucking miserable summer.

I’m hoping that this Godawful weather is going to lead up to a surprise heatwave that is going to last for months. I am hoping that just for once, we are going to have a decent summer like the ones we used to have back in the 50s and 60s.

Well, here in Vancouver the daffodils are out and I think I might have got a touch of heatstroke yesterday. Shame we are holding the Winter Olympics right now. The cross country skiers are complaining of heat exhaustion. If you want global warming, come to Beautiful British Columbia. You can have some of ours. .-= Don’t Bug Me!´s last brainfart .. Macro Monday – Fact or Fiction? =-.

Jennikybooky – We can but hope. I’m going to sacrifice a few virgins to be on the safe side [that is, if I can find any].

DBM – Our daffydowndillies are barely up. There isn’t a bud to be seen on them. Apparently, ground temperature has to be 6C or above for growth, and ours is around 2C, which gives you an idea of the fun we’re having. We are currently blanketed by the Arctic Air Mass [it bloody feels like it!!] and there is no sign of it shifting in the forseeable future.

Well this is all proof of Global Climate Change! Artic weather in Ireland and Tons of snow up and down the Atlantic coast and heat waves in Rio. Droughts, Famine and the earthquake in Haiti, Oh the mudslides in Portugal too all prove that Global Warming is true!!! So now gub’mints all oveer the world will come together and sing the collective song of new regulations and laws!!! Hahahahahahahahahaha! I’ll publish this as a scientific paper and all my peer will jump and shout for joy when they read it. Then they’ll ask me to speak at an Al Gore backed seminar. I’ll get all the chicks I didn’t get in high school! WooHoo! .-= The Climate Scientist´s last brainfart .. The (Re)Birth of a Blog =-.

Cap’n Haddock – I hate those fucking curly wurly bulbs!! They don’t light up for ages, by which time I have left the room again after falling over something. Ian – You don’t half get around? You are now my appointed weather reporter. Mick – You disappoint me. I thought you would have been at Mizzen Head on icebrg watch?

Good morning Ian … As far as revealing my age goes, let’s just say I’ll not see 60 again .. but who cares ? .. Lol

Those bloody “energy-saving” bulbs are totally useless .. I do a bit of painting & drawing and am not looking forward to the day when I’m forced to replace the “proper” 100W “Daylight” bulb in the lamp on my drawing table with one of these horrible things .. They bugger-up colour a treat ..

Retirement was the best thing to ever happen to me .. I’ve got all my faculties, a Lady 8 years younger than me in my life and the time to enjoy it all .. in fact, I now wonder how I ever found the time to actually go to work .. Heh heh ..

My New Year’s Resolution this year was to grow old(er) as disgracefully as possible … Lol

My grown-up kids are totally “banjaxed” by the idea of me going out “Night-clubbing” until silly o’ clock the next morning .. Ha ha
